Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare the squash: Slice the spaghetti squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds using a spoon.
  3. Season: Drizzle olive oil over the flesh of the squash halves, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any additional seasonings of your choice (garlic powder, Italian seasoning, etc.).
  4. Roast: Place the squash halves cut side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Roast in the oven for about 40-45 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  5. Shred the "noodles": Once the squash has cooled slightly, use a fork to scrape the flesh. You'll be amazed at how the squash forms delicate, noodle-like strands!
  6. Serve: The spaghetti squash can be served on its own or topped with your favorite sauce, sautéed vegetables, or even a protein of your choice. For an extra touch, sprinkle with parmesan cheese or fresh herbs.
